Our Maritime Legacy
Emerging from a deep love for ocean adventures and dedication to outstanding performance, MiddleGroundHub has been delivering memorable sea journeys along the unspoiled shorelines of Portugal for more than ten years.
Our Story
In 2013, maritime aficionados Captain Charles Hargrave and First Mate Haven Peterson established MiddleGroundHub, realizing their vision of introducing the splendor of Portugal's waters to like-minded explorers.
Originating with just one yacht, MiddleGroundHub has expanded and become Portugal's leading luxury yacht charter provider, delighting a multitude of contented clients while upholding our dedication to safety, opulence, and the preservation of nature.
We now command a squadron of premium vessels, each one featuring state-of-the-art conveniences and manned by certified nautical experts, united in their commitment to delivering outstanding customer experiences.
